<strong>Halifax</strong> Water Integrated Resource Plan<br />

Integrated Resource Plan Development and Evaluation<br />

Additional O&M Costs<br />

The additional O&M costs associated with growth (water and wastewater systems) and<br />

enhanced compliance (wastewater system only) were estimated as part of the financial<br />

modeling. The 30-year NPV costs are presented in Figure 5.5 showing the O&M growth<br />

and compliance components. The compliance related costs change by about 41 % from<br />

level A to C. This reflects the impact of A and C level timings on the projects.<br />

Additional O&M Costs<br />

Wastewater Compliance Timing<br />

The impact of wastewater compliance timing on the 30-Year NPV can be seen in Figure<br />

5.6. The IRP expenditures for A, B and C plans with enhanced overflow control and the<br />

RWWFP (Plans 25-1, 28-1, 22-1 respectively) are presented in the figure. The major<br />

variation is associated with the implementation timing of the Objective 4 projects:<br />

• Upgrade of HHSP facilities to full secondary treatment<br />

• Upgrade of 8 WWTFs (excluding BLT which is presently under upgrade) discharging<br />

to limited receiving waters for nutrient reduction<br />

• Consolidation of flows from the BLT and Springfield Lake WWTFs through<br />

recommended RWWFP (not included in this total but included as part of RWWFP in<br />

Objective 13).<br />
